Note. Log-HF-HRV-300 = log-transformed high frequency heart rate variability derived from short-term HR recordings (300 s), Log-HF-HRV-120 = log-transformed high frequency heart rate variability derived from ultra-short-term HR recordings (120 s), Log-HF-HRV-60 = log-transformed high frequency heart rate variability derived from ultra-short-term HR recordings (60 s), SVO angle = Social Value Orientation angle36, IA Index = Inequality Aversion Index36.

aData on SVOA angle was available for 76 participants, 37 females and 39 males.

bData on IA index was only available for 61 participants, 30 females and 31 males because these were the only participants that met the conditions for the determination of the IA index36.
